Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R)

The Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) is a structured clinical assessment tool used by professionals to gather detailed information about a person's developmental history and current behaviors related to autism. It involves an in-depth interview with caregivers to evaluate areas such as communication, social interactions, and repetitive behaviors. The ADI-R helps clinicians determine whether someone meets the criteria for an autism diagnosis and guides planning for support and intervention. It is considered a reliable and standardized method, often used alongside other assessments to ensure an accurate understanding of an individual's needs.
